Getting To Know
Your Machine
Do not use a highly flammable spray or solvent near the machine. It can cause fire.
When copying a thick document, do not use excessive force to press it against the document glass. The glass
may break and cause injuries.
Never touch a labelled area found on or near the heat roller. You can get burnt. If a sheet of paper is wrapped
around the heat roller, do not try to remove it yourself to avoid injuries or burns. Switch Off the machine
immediately, and contact your authorized Panasonic dealer.
Do not use conductive paper, e.g. folding paper, carbonic paper and coated paper. When a misfed paper jam
occurs, they can cause a short circuit and fire.
Do not place any heavy object on the machine. An off-balance machine can tip-over or the heavy object can
fall, causing damage and/or injuries.
Keep the room ventilated when using the machine for an extended period of time to minimize the ozone
density in the air.
When copying with the document cover open, do not look directly at the exposure lamp. Direct eye exposure
can cause eye fatigue or damage.
Pull out paper trays slowly to prevent injuries.
When removing jammed paper, make sure that no pieces of torn paper are left in the machine. A piece of
paper remaining in the machine can cause fire. If a sheet of paper is wrapped around the heat roller, or when
clearing a jammed paper that is difficult or impossible to see, do not try to remove it by yourself. Doing so can
cause injuries or burns. Switch Off the machine immediately, and contact your authorized Panasonic dealer.

■ When clearing a paper jam or other fault, follow the appropriate procedure given in the Operating Instructions.
CAUTION
Consumable Safeguards
Never heat the drum cartridge, or scratch its surface. A heated or scratched drum can be hazardous to your
health.
Be sure to use the specified type of batteries only.
Ensure that batteries are installed with correct polarity. Incorrectly installed batteries can burst or leak,
resulting in spillage or injuries.
Others
■ The machine has a built-in circuit for protection against lightning-induced surge current. If lightning strikes in your
neighborhood, maintain ample distance from the machine, and do not touch the machine until the lightning has stopped.
■ If you notice flickering or distorted images or noises on your audio-visual units, your machine may be causing radio
interference. Switch it Off and if the interference disappears, the machine is the cause of the radio interference. Perform
the following procedure until the interference is corrected.
● Move the machine and the TV and/or radio away from each other.
● Reposition or reorient the machine and the TV and/or radio.
● Unplug the machine, TV and/or radio, and replug them into outlets that operate on different circuits.
● Reorient the TV and/or radio antennas and cables until the interference stops. For an outdoor antenna, ask your local
electrician for support.
● Use a coaxial cable antenna.
